Personally, 170 people. Fails in comparison to 6,000, I know. However I don't feel it would be that hard to run a community like Wasilla. I've spent an accumulated 30-40 hours there and have met a number of influential people in the community. I think were the task asigned I could handle the problems it faces. It may be important to note that I'm young as well, so give me a few more years and I'm sure the number of folks I run will increase dramatically.

Managing 170 is a lot more work than running a town of 6000! I'll bet she didn't actually manage more than one or two dozen people. It's also my understanding that she delegated almost evrryhing to a manager anyways.

Managing 170 people is a difficult task. Managing and being responsible for all the levels of service provided by a municipal government is a more difficult task.
